One of Africa’s top digital payment gateways, MFS Africa, has collaborated with award-winning intra-African, cross-border remittances and digital wallet provider EziPay to provide last-mile connectivity for payments to and from mobile money wallets and bank accounts throughout Africa.
The agreement comes at a time when businesses and individuals need solutions that enable them to transact across regions as mobile money in Africa grows at an increasing rate.
Dare Okoudjou, founder and CEO of MFS Africa, stated in a statement that the collaboration would help the company reach its goal of interoperability and is in keeping with its mission to assist businesses of all sizes.
“At MFS Africa, it has always been important to us to help businesses of all sizes scale by building a network hub and partner ecosystem that shares these values.
Partnering with EziPay, an organization known for providing digital wallets for inward and outward remittance to MSMEs, SMEs, and individuals across continents, made complete sense to enable further the interoperability we aim to achieve through our acquisitions and partnerships,” Dare Okoudjou said.
EziPay, which operates in 14 African nations, has more than 300,000 users worldwide, including local ex-pats and members of the African diaspora who use its digital wallets to send money home and abroad. The company’s global wallet Mauritius service, with payout corridors to more than 90 countries, is currently operational.

How Customers Would Benefit
Co-Founder and CEO of EziPay Amit Gaur think that customers would benefit from instant remittances for goods, services, family allowances, P2P payments, and more due to this relationship.
“With EziPay and MFS Africa joining hands to solve cross-continent remittances to Africa from Asia, Europe, the UK, and the USA, remittances for goods, services, school fees, medical transfers, business transfers, family maintenance allowances, and P2P transfers will be enabled.
I firmly believe that with the MFS Africa partnership, our customers will have instant remittances to bank accounts and wallets across Africa for our ever-growing customer base.” Amit Gaur, Co-Founder and CEO at EziPay said at the occasion.
More opportunities, connections, and interoperability have been made possible for both individuals and companies thanks to MFS Africa. The company’s full-service digital payments network links more than 120,000 agents, 200 million bank accounts, and 400 million mobile money wallets across Nigeria.
“As Africa’s mobile money landscape continues to evolve, we hope that entrepreneurs will be able to take their businesses to the next level through partnerships like these. Ultimately, we hope that it will lead to not only a more connected Africa but also a more connected world,” concludes Okoudjou.
Customers of these firms can rest assured that this partnership between these two Giants would yield fruits and bring about easy remittances all over Africa.
